I think that quiz is shite lol. Its weird my Dad is definitely a narcissist, no question. I have some of his traits, I like to tell entertaining stories and be the life of a party or conversation, I think I’m extremely talented in my hobbies, I like being in charge and showing off, I think I’m good at manipulating people if I need to and I’m good at talking my way out of bad situations, but I’m not delusional in any regard and I don’t think I have any more value as a person than anyone else. My mom has depression and low self esteem its a weird mix I guess. Oh and I’m modest, just so much more modest than you are! 27
I thought it was interesting that the OP lowered the standards for greatness. I have never heard of that and have no clue what that might mean. If I had to make up a theory I would suggest that the OP often feels like the world is moving too fast and often feels overwhelmed. He feels good about his slow pace and just wished the rest of the world saw it the way he does. I scored a 15
20, but mostly because the test questions suck. They’re either megalomaniacal, or so self-effacing as to be absurd, or ones where both are valid things I believe.
For example, one question makes you choose between:
[ul]
[li]I like to have authority over other people[/li][li] I don’t mind following orders.[/li][/ul]
Those aren’t mutually exclusive. Both are true for me in large part- in general, I don’t mind taking orders(i.e. it doesn’t rankle), but given the choice, I tend to prefer authority to being ordered around.
